I was 81 as of September, 2017, & am healthy and still with unimpaired mind and memory, untroubled by beliefs I once held and investigated until they collapsed, so that wider and deeper understanding took their place. It is liberating to defend the facts and truth that have been made known to me. [I was for many years the national leader of Sai Baba's organization in Norway] I have a duty to aid those who Sai Baba deceived as I once promoted him. Many have contacted me for advice.

Film ‘Baba Sathya Sai’ shelved

The announcement was made by the makers of the film Baba Sathya Sai (Director: Kodi Ramakrishna Actors: Dileep as Sathya Sai Baba“ is shelved:-

“Our readers are aware that Veteran director Kodi Rama Krishna had started a movie on God man Satya Sai Baba after his demise. During that time, some big names cropped for the roles The movie was thought to be made simultaneously in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam but looks like the movie is now shelved even before going to sets. Kodi had been resting for the last few months after a bypass surgery.

And now it is told that he is going to begin the shooting of a new project titled ‘Rani Ranamma’ starring Lakshmi Rai and Arjun in the lead roles. The movie will also be a graphical extravaganza like his earlier movies Ammoru and Arundathi. The formal muhurath of the movie will take place on April 15th and will be made in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada.”

The other film on Sai Baba that was supposed to have been released on August 15th this year, Sathya Sai Baba with Anup Jalota as Sathya Sai Baba and directed by Vicky Ranawat Sathya Sai Baba, has not surfaced so far. It was being shot in Puttaparthi (see here)

Perhaps the film makers have realised that the most definitive film about Sathya Sai Baba so far is ‘the BBC ‘s ‘The Secret Swami’

Comment: Srikanthuppulurisaid ‘And the actor who was to play the lead role had the gates opened for a divinely ordained divorce!! http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Kochi/actors-file-joint-plea-for-divorce/article6248616.ece (page since removed) Looks like anyone associated with the Avatar or even anything remotely related to him ends up in one or the other major life changing event occurring in his life.

When, as you say, there are unmistakable evidences for the continuous acts of misconduct and false propaganda indulged in and perpetrated by this soi-distant Swamy, how come still people invest a lot of spirituality in him, extolling him to the skies. Regards Sankarraman

The reason for his popularity, now mainly in India, I consider to stem firstly from Indian religiosity – from tales in the cradle to the existence of hundreds of thousands of wandering sadhus, Hindu nationalist with rituals everywhere, temples everywhere. Sai Baba simply promoted all of the traditional beliefs and bolstered the confidence of Indians in their ancient culture’s supposed (former) greatness, despite the otherworldliness, and what it has led to and the present condition it is in. I have documented the many ways in which Sai Baba operated to indoctrinate people and manipulate them – many subtle deceptions, Tantric magic or siddhis, and also veiled threats (comparative to the West, many Indians are very superstitious). Some of these techniques – often handed down by gurus – are describes in a series I wrote (http://www.saibaba-x.org.uk/5/dis1.htm). The entire ashram became a place of secrets, security and surveillance, clandestine activities all hidden carefully from the public through control of followers, false propaganda and criminal activities. Most of the big VIPs who were famous had worshipped Sai Baba well before the real exposure of his sexual aberrations became public from 1999 onwards.
